Contrary MaryContrary MaryContrary MaryContrary MaryWell the first time that I saw yaDid ya say you'd never never never come backBut the second time I saw yaYou were sitting in my CadillacSticks and stones may break my bonesWe didn't think at all girlBut ya stuck to me like something stuck in my eye(Say hey hey baby) People think that you're a big shot(Say hey hey baby) Keep on acting like a hot shot(Hey hey hey) My mama - my mama - my mama told me not to fool around with you(You hey you who) Contrary Mary(You hey you who) Contrary Mary(You hey you who) Contrary Mary(You hey you who) Contrary Mary

Well they told me you don't want meYou threw my suitcase out the doorBut ya can't do nothing with the sister of loveSo ya rock it where you were beforeMary Mary quite contraryHow does your love life goYou see my nose is clean if you know whatI mean got lines waiting three in a row

[Chorus:]

(You hey you hey)(You hey you hey)(You hey you hey)(You hey you hey)

Baby baby can't you seeWhat your love has done to meI take you places all of the timeBaby baby, now make up your mind
